Comments: Thanks, Joe. I sat with Mad at the AAC dinner a few weeks ago, and we both sung you praises. Kate too. Tons of CC types at the meeting. Super fun. Drop me a line this spring if you find some time to climb. Oh, Catto took this photo.

Comments: Out of Limits maybe? We climbed up there a lot and did all those routes. This was taken in '79 maybe? So I think there where four routes on the slab at that point. Crack Tac was the most reasonable. By that I mean safe, but it is Blob Rock's east block.

Comments: We always topped out on our first ascents in Indian Creek. We rarely used bolts as well. Half the adventure was finding our way day. And that always seemed to be after the sun went down. It was a special time there. Rarely did you see other climbers and if you did you likely knew them.

Comments: I think the forth accent. Mlada and I tried it twice that Summer and got blown off on the crux pitch by a epic electrical storm.

I'm not bitter at all, just wishing people still had to stumble around a little to find the climbs, let alone the rock the climb is on. But pictures of parking lots! But it's awfully hard not to thank the guys for all the work! So thanks for al... more >>

Comments: This is great, Bryan. Jay and I had a great half day on that thing on a nice sunny day in Dec. of '82. So sunny, rocks were dropping all over the road. Of course, we were in my VW convertible, but no problem, we just drove up and down the canyon with our helmets on. Later that evening at the Morrison Inn, we bumped into Layton Kor who had been bouldering up the hill getting back into shape after not climbing much for a few years. He doesn't remember our first meeting, but I sure do. Anyhow, this... more >>
